Hi Pauline,
From the TDS documentation page
(http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/), take a look at the
"Performance" page
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/Performance.html
It discusses a few JVM command-line options you should set to give your
server more memory and make sure it is using the "server" settings for
the java hotspot VM. Basically, in ${tomcat_home}/bin/startup.sh you can
add something like:
JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xmx512m -Xms128m"
export JAVA_OPTS
which starts the server with 128meg of heap space and a max of 512meg.
We actually give our main server 512meg to start and around 2Gig max.
Choose your settings as appropriate for the machine on which your server
is running.

Hi Ethan,
I've tried to use my test server again today, and have found that it's
getting a Java heap space problem. I then restarted my server and it
can load the large dataset. However, if I refreshed the page, I get the
Java heap space problem.
Ahh, I tried that restart/reload a few more times, and it seems like it
works for the first few loads, and then any large dataset will result in
the error.
Having said that, if I went back through the smaller dataset, TDS will
show smaller dataset fine.
This is what I get in catalina.out:

I tried to setup the remote management thing in tomcat without success,
so I'm afraid I can't give you more details until I can get that up and
running.
Cheers,
-Pauline.

Hi Pauline,
Did the cache permissions solve the problem you were having with
scanning directories that contain large numbers of files? Was the
scanning to generate a catalog or was it an aggregation?

HI Ethan,
Yes, I've noticed that occasionally it will show an OurOfMemory error.
I'm currently running is
THREDDS Data Server Version 3.14.02 Build Date = 2007-03-19 23:50:44
JVM is java version "1.5.0_09"
Tomcat is: 5.5
Wow, the oddest thing just happened. I noticed that catalina.out were
printing out messages saying that tomcat had problems trying to access
cache.log. So I went in and change the ownership of all cache* and then
THREDDS was able to load those big datasets without problems. Oops,
sorry! I should read the log more carefully!
Thanks,
-Pauline.
